32 Weeks

GENERALLY FEELING: EXHAUSTED. Granted we did just get back from a whirlwind weekend in Dallas, but I just wear out so much more easily now. A girlfriend of mine said it best the other day – being pregnant with a toddler isn’t the same as just being pregnant. A whole new world!

SHOWING? What you see in the above photo is my current view…so yes. Showing. Quite a bit 🙂

CRAVINGS? Honestly I didn’t eat very well this past weekend, so I’m craving lots of veggies right now. And reasonable portions. Are we sure I’m pregnant?!

WEIGHT GAIN: Not tracking it, but my doctor has said I’m completely in the normal range and doing well!

FEARS: I’m starting to worry about the logistics of having two kids, especially at the beginning. Whether I’m able to have a VBAC or not there will still be a decent chunk of time that I have to physically heal, and I’m worried that I may not have my stuff together. I suppose no one ever really knows what all could happen, but simple things like going to the bathroom and showering (which, let’s be real, I struggle with anyway) are going to become super difficult for a while!

LOOKING FORWARD TO: I can’t wait to hear his first cries and see his sweet face. It’s just getting so real for us now!

WHAT I’VE BEEN LOVING: Our little bug is a moving, kicking, punching machine. While I’m not a huge fan of getting punched in the bladder so frequently, if it means he’s healthy and active then I’ll take it!

SLEEP: Ugh. Sleep has been hard lately for the sole fact that I can’t get comfortable in any position. I’m usually a stomach sleeper, which isn’t possible right now, but sleeping on my back sounds soooo nice. Too bad it’s not an option right now!

MATERNITY CLOTHES: I’m finally starting to realize that I may not be pregnant forever and that no, I don’t need to buy more maternity clothes. It’s time to focus on things like nursing bras and hospital bags and postpartum underwear (that phrase should bring in some fun searches!) – so strange! It really does feel like yesterday that we found out we were even pregnant, and now he’s almost here. I can’t believe it!

Oh you’re going to do amazing! You’re so ready….:) It’s hard at the end…but you know the real end is coming. I’ll be praying for you. Keep up the great work and the wonderful recipes (can’t wait to try that ranch rice!) XOX

YaY!! You are so close to the finish line. That fear about how in the world to handle 2 in the beginning? Yeah, it’s definitely been keeping me up at night. Somehow we can handle this, right?! 🙂 Let’s do this, home stretch!!
